Leucocyte Response In Nigerian Indigenous Dogs With Surgically Induced Radial Nerve Paralysis

CME Current Approach to Radial Nerve Paralysis

Radial nerve paralysis, which can result from a complex humerus fracture, direct nerve trauma, compressive neuropathies, neuritis, or (rarely) from malignant tumor formation, has been reported throughout the literature, with some controversy regarding its diagnosis and management. The appropriate management of any radial nerve palsy depends primarily on an accurate determination of its cause, s...

A modified tendon transference for radial nerve paralysis.

In 1921 Sir Robert Jones described his technique of tendon transference for cases of irreparable damage of the radial nerve. In the original Jones’s technique and its several modifications (Billington 1922, Luckey and McPherson 1947, Scuderi 1949) the pronator teres is transferred to the two radial wrist extensors. This leads to ugly radial deviation on attempted dorsifiexion of the wrist (Fig....

An improved splint for radial (musculospiral) nerve paralysis.

Leucocyte counts in pregnant Nigerian women with sickle cell trait.

White blood count (WBC) with differential counts and packed cell volume (PCV) were studied in 100 pregnant and 30 non-pregnant control women aged 18-45 years. Eighty of the pregnant women were homozygous HbAA and 20 heterozygous HbAS. The non-pregnant women's PCV, lymphocyte and eosinophils counts were significantly higher (p < 0.005) while their leucocytes neutrophil counts were significantly ...

Laryngeal paralysis in dogs.

Laryngeal paralysis is a common cause of upper airway obstruction in older, large-breed dogs and is likely associated with a generalized polyneuropathy in most animals. Surgical therapy is frequently indicated, and UAL is currently the recommended treatment. Respiratory signs significantly improve in most patients after surgery; however, postoperative complication rates can be high, and patient...
